Our Story
Hello! My name is Kristy and I’m an award winning personal trainer and fitness instructor with over 30 years of experience leading classes.
I have been involved in fitness since I was 17 — learning how to lift weights with my best friend in high school and gradually becoming proficient in exercise science. I’ve taught fitness everywhere, from my classrooms to bootcamps, even when I was literally in a boot after breaking my foot.
After years of teaching, I faced a back injury and I feared my career in education/fitness was over. But, with the right PT and a trainer who invested in me, I was able to recover and come back stronger than before. It taught me firsthand how injuries shape not just our bodies, but our mindset.
Which is why I am excited to present to you Momentum Health and Fitness, a place where everyone, regardless of age, can become stronger and the best version of themselves.
My dream is coming true because of you…let’s find our Momentum…together!
